In Part 10 of the thematic tutorial series "Acoustofluidics-exploiting ultrasonic standing waves forces and acoustic streaming in microfluidic systems for cell and particle manipulation", we present and analyze a number of scaling laws relevant for microsystem acoustophoresis. Such laws are useful both in understanding, designing, and analyzing acoustofluidic devices.

In this paper, we report on an empirical experiment where we observe, record and analyze the evolution of selected operating systems over the past decades and derive a statistical model that captures relevant evolutionary laws. We use this model to highlight relevant statistical laws, as well as to predict the future evolution of operating systems. In addition to deriving predictions on the fut...

Currently, with its reasonability in applicable law basis, the dismissal of Chinese college students cannot be universally put into Labor Contract Law of the People’s Republic of China. However, relevant laws and the effect relationship among them should be clarified. In the practical application process, some problems may arise in the application of these relevant laws. Accordingly, the profes...

judges should not be regarded as mere speakers of and tools in the hands of the legislature. they are as actors animating the laws enacted. the judges’ acting can be justified on three grounds: limitations of law-making, including lack of expertise in and inattention of, the being expedient of, and purposeful acts of legislature, being societies in transition, and impossibility of anticipating ...

Few sciences have held out such therapeutic promise and correspondingly stirred so much controversy in countries throughout the world as the developing science surrounding human embryonic stem cells. Since the first reported development of several lines of human embryonic stem cells in 1988, many governments around the world have attempted to address the thorny ethical issues raised by human em...

copyright is characterized by the concept of originality. despite its very importance in the formation of a work with its effects and consequences and despite some research previously done in this area, yet, further study seems necessary. one of the reasons for this is, perhaps, the relative and subjective concept of originality and its flexible nature. this research attempts to define the idea...

The microworld and the nanoworld are now of interest to the public, scientists, engineers and industrialists. Effects negligible at the macroscopic level become important at the micrometre scale, and vice versa. Moreover, at the nanoscale, quantum effects may become dominant. Scaling laws are useful for an understanding of the origin of such differences and/or to generalize results obtained at ...

I explore the possibility that the laws of physics might be laws of inference rather than laws of nature. What sort of dynamics can one derive from well-established rules of inference? Specifically, I ask: Given relevant information codified in the initial and the final states, what trajectory is the system expected to follow? The answer follows from a principle of inference, the principle of m...

Parameters of an electron storage ring which are relevant to brightness are defined. For the case of a FODO lattice scaiind laws and maximum beam brightness are calculated.

This paper presents our recent work on encoding the hierarchical English-Chinese bilingual BLIS corpus of HK laws following XCES. Our work is aimed not only at facilitating data capture for language engineering such as machine translation but also at laying down a foundation for a suitable presentation of legislative texts for various purposes (e.g., rendering the loose-leaf edition of HK laws ...
